No, it's never too early for a poll, especially in New Hampshire.

A new WMUR Granite State poll gives Hillary Rodham Clinton a massive lead and Chris Christie a narrow lead in the state that traditionally hosts the first presidential primary.

Clinton, former secretary of State, senator and first lady, has the support of 62% of likely 2016 Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire, the poll says.

Joe Biden, the vice president, is second at 8%, followed by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (5%), Newark Mayor and New Jersey senatorial candidate Cory Booker (2%), and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (1%). Nineteen percent are undecided.

Christie, the governor of New Jersey, has a much smaller lead among likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters in 2016.
